spectrum golf wall mount

[frankiepap39]

guys, sorry if this has been posted, but i recently got the wall mount from spectrum golf... and while they have been amazing shipping / communicating to me in australia, the instructions are somewhat vague. i think a page may be missing... there is a small tear of a page looks to be missing... has anyone had any experience installing one of these?

I have not used this exact kit, but I made something very similar.
I would mount one bottom foot pad (the part that attaches to the wall).
Then install the bottom the three way connector and the bottom crossbar. You can now put on the other foot pad and secure it to the wall once level.
Now you should be able to install the two uprights, two 3 way connectors and top crossbar. Once that's done, you can then secure the top foot pads to the wall.

I'm not sure which screen you get, but if it has the sewn in pockets, you would install pvc poles in them and attach to your wall frame with ball bungees in three locations on each side of the screen.

Personally, i would forgo the pvc and just use tarp clips with ball bungees. It's easier to get the screen to the right tension and make adjustments.

One thing i'm curious about though, is how high your are mounting this. What is going to prevent you from hitting the bottom crossbar and send the ball flying back?

I have the black padded cushions they also sell to stop me from hitting the metal and then trying to dodgeball my way out of a 100mph missile coming back to kill me...
I will have to give this a bit of thought as I'm still a but lost on setup. Surely it's easier and I'm over thinking it since the main instruction page looks like it's missing.

Maybe this pic will help. You can see my frame, in the upper left and right corners, you will have the same setup. It has the footpad mounted to the wall and then it has the three way connector in each corner with the top cross bar and the vertical support on each side. The only difference for you will be the bottom where you will have the footpads attaching to the wall and the bottom crossbar. I did not use a bottom crossbar, just to eliminate a ball hitting and going flying around.
Here is an updated pic with screen and trim.

wbond oh i see... thanks for that. any more i can look at closer? i think i will also miss the bottom crossbar to... i have the polymesh screen so there are no holes in it... just 1 each side for the pole to slide in. i think there is 1 or 2 small holes near by but not like you have there

In the first pic, that is just a painters tarp with grommets i put in while i was waiting on my supertex screen to show up. When i received the supertex screen it had pockets on all four sides to slide the pvc poles into. The screen in the second pic is the one from the direct from mill thread.

I have a supertex with pockets on all sides and I still haven’t found an effective way to get the perfect bounce back / wrinkle combo. I may have to cut the screen smaller in size. I feel like the pockets make it way too big for the frame if you’re not using the pvc

Just fold it over if it's too big and use tarp clips. I think they are called e-z clips from home depot. You can then adjust tension with adjustable ball bungees.
